One thing you could do is install flash click-to-play. Unfortunately, I'm away from my mac so I can't post my patch for it, and can't give step-by-step instructions. But here's the gist of it. Maybe someone who understands their Camino profile could distill this to steps that would be understood by all: 1. Install FireFox. 2. Use FireFox to install the flash click-to-play extension. 3. Copy the files/directories that were added to the profile by the install into your Camino profile. 4. Look at the changes that were made to user.js and userContent.css, and add those changes to the Camino files. One thing I would add is that not all of the new techniques rely on Flash, though many seem to. For the others, I find that privoxy is effective.
